I will see how bad it looks in the morning and call first thing.
You're kidding, right? So you sew by hand for a month. Would you really rather risk not being able to walk correctly for the rest of your life? Or not being able to use the sewing machine's foot pedal without pain? Or drive properly?
You should call the doctor right NOW and ask if it's okay to even wait until morning. The healing process begins immediately, but if things are out of place, the tissues might keep them that way. Scar tissue may form.
Your son's speech therapy can wait. Sometimes you need to take care of YOU.
